The Tar Sands in Alberta, potential development in the Ring of Fire in northern Ontario, declining timber harvest and farming - human activity is transforming Canada's landscape, yet many of the country's aquatic resources remain unprotected, according to research by ecologists at the University of Toronto.
Kansas State University scientists and collaborators have developed a new method for studying a variety of streams — including tropical, prairie or forested streams — across continents.
Abengoa, the international company that applies innovative technology solutions for sustainability in the energy and environment sectors, has been selected by Advanced Water Technology (AWT) to jointly develop the world's first large-scale desalination plant to be powered by solar energy, in Saudi Arabia.
When dams are built they have an impact not only on the flow of water in the river, but also on the people who live downstream and on the surrounding ecosystems. By placing data from close to 6,500 existing large dams on a highly precise map of the world's rivers, an international team led by McGill University researchers has created a new method to estimate the global impacts of dams on river flow and fragmentation.
Abengoa, the international company that applies innovative technology solutions for sustainability in the energy and environment sectors has signed a MoU (Memorandum of Understanding) in Seoul, last December 3rd, with the South Korean company Daelim Industrial Co. Ltd to develop large water projects all over the world.
Duke University scientists have developed new forensic tracers to identify coal ash contamination in water and distinguish it from contamination coming from other sources.
The majority of streams in the Chesapeake Bay region are warming, and that increase appears to be driven largely by rising air temperatures. These findings are based on new U.S. Geological Survey research published in the journal Climatic Change.
New research demonstrates for the first time that an increase in greenhouse gas concentrations thousands of years ago was a key factor in causing substantially more rainfall in two major regions of Africa. The finding provides new evidence that the current increase in greenhouse gases will have an important impact on Africa’s future climate.
Recycling System (SRS) with the Dutch Waterschap Aa en Maas (WSAM), who just released its exciting report about the great commercial potential of sewage mining. The SRS was able to reduce daily operational costs by approx. $2700 in addition to reducing sludge by up to 30 percent.
American Water has been awarded a research grant from the WateReuse Research Foundation to study the level of pathogen removal that occurs when ocean water is collected for desalination through sub-surface slant wells. The research will occur at the test slant well that is currently being constructed in Monterey County, California, by the company’s subsidiary, California American Water.
